The conjugacy search problem in public key cryptography: unnecessary and insufficient

Vladimir Shpilrain, Alexander Ushakov

The conjugacy search problem in a group G is the problem of recovering an x in G from given g in G and h=x^{-1}gx. This problem is in the core of several recently suggested public…

Interfacial Slip in Sheared Polymer Blends

Tak Shing Lo, Maja Mihajlovic, Yitzhak Shnidman +2

We have developed a dynamic self-consistent field theory, without any adjustable parameters, for unentangled polymer blends under shear. Our model accounts for the interaction betw…

Blackbody Radiation, Conformal Symmetry, and the Mismatch Between Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism

Timothy H. Boyer

The blackbody radiation problem within classical physics is reviewed. It is again suggested that conformal symmetry is the crucial unrecognized aspect, and that only scattering by…

Random Multiplication Approaches Uniform Measure in Finite Groups

Aaron Abrams, Henry Landau, Zeph Landau +2

In order to study how well a finite group might be generated by repeated random multiplications, P. Diaconis suggested the following urn model. An urn contains some balls labeled b…

Combinatorial group theory and public key cryptography

Vladimir Shpilrain, Gabriel Zapata

After some excitement generated by recently suggested public key exchange protocols due to Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld and Ko-Lee et al., it is a prevalent opinion now that the conjugac…

Hardy-type nonlocality proof for two maximally entangled particles

Demetrios Kalamidas

We present a variation on a gedanken experiment of Hardy [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68 (1992) 2981] that allows, for the first time, a Hardy-type nonlocality proof for two maximally entangl…

Cone types and geodesic languages for lamplighter groups and Thompson's group F

Sean Cleary, Murray Elder, Jennifer Taback

We study languages of geodesics in lamplighter groups and Thompson's group F. We show that the lamplighter groups have infinitely many cone types, have no regular geodesic la…
